Airport advisory committee reports apron work, terminal design progress and Connect Oregon context
Summary
Airport advisory committee reported passenger traffic up 3.28% year-over-year, apron concrete work underway with expected Oct. 1 completion, terminal expansion at 50% schematic design, and noted statewide Connect Oregon funding limits affecting large grant expectations.
An airport advisory committee representative (Speaker 3) updated the board on multiple airport projects and regional grant context. Speaker 3 said the airport is "still 3.28% increase in traffic year over year," noted concrete work on the apron is underway with completion around Oct. 1, and that the terminal expansion is at 50% schematic design; a workshop had been scheduled to review more details. The representative also said TSA was conducting a week-long inspection of airport security.
Board members and staff discussed Connect Oregon funding for regional airports and expressed concern that statewide cuts and prioritization of larger projects could reduce the county's expected share. Speaker 1 noted Jackson County Airport had been chosen on the Connect Oregon list while acknowledging the statewide pot was around $33,000,000, and participants discussed realistic grant expectations for regional airports.
